Chapter 98: My Parents Aren’t Home Tonight

At the Donghai City Police Station, Lin Tian carefully examined the dossier regarding his father’s death.

The file was detailed, including witness testimonies, physical evidence, and more. He didn’t miss a single detail, scrutinizing each page thoroughly.

The conclusion he reached was consistent with the official judgment: Lin Yourong died in an accident.

On one hand, there was the evidence in front of him; on the other, his own judgment. Lin Tian trusted his judgment more.

As a businessman, he knew that it was possible to commit a murder without leaving any trace behind. He had done similar things in his previous life. With enough money, anything was possible.

“Xiao Tian, you’ve seen the dossier. Do you now believe that your dad really died in an accident?”

Lin Tian, who had perfected the art of maintaining his composure, nodded without revealing his emotions: “Uncle Zhao, I was overthinking things.”

“That’s good to understand. Your dad was just buried a few days ago. You should focus on getting ready for school. I’ll ask Yanyan to spend more time with you, have a good talk.”

Lin Tian gave a bitter smile. He knew how much Zhao Yanyan disliked him; it was already good if she didn’t scold him.

Wait a minute!!

A sudden idea for uncovering the murderer came to Lin Tian. He could use business tactics to investigate this matter: “Su’s Construction Group, Su Zhenguo, how should I deal with him? This needs a well-thought-out plan.”Yoouur favorite novels at novelhall.com

“Uncle Zhao, I should go now. My mom is alone at home, and I’m worried about her.”

Zhao Tiande nodded: “Alright, Xiao Tian, go ahead. I’ll call you if there’s anything.”

“Thank you, Uncle Zhao.”

“Don’t mention it. You know the relationship between your dad and me.”

Lin Tian nodded and left without further delay. He needed to devise a foolproof plan to investigate his father’s death. If he acted rashly, he might end up in danger himself.

In the evening, at Su Lin’s villa.

“Cheers~!!”

“Cheers, happy birthday Su Lin, may you be happy for a lifetime.”

Su Lin, looking at the two women, said with a light smile: “If it’s like this for a lifetime, then I will definitely be happy forever.”

“Xiaoyu, you’ve mixed a lot of juice with your drink. How does it feel? Do you feel tipsy?” Su Lin asked with a smile.

Xia Shiyu shook her head: “With the juice mixed in, it doesn’t have that kind of effect. It’s sweet and sour and quite tasty.”

After a sip of the fruity wine, a faint blush appeared on Xia Shiyu’s face, turning her cheeks rosy. However, her eyes were still clear, showing she wasn’t lying about not being drunk.

“No, I’m fine...” Before Xia Shiyu could finish speaking, she stumbled and nearly fell, but Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan quickly caught her.

“Su Lin, what should we do now?” Lin Xiaowan asked with a bit of a headache.

“Just take Xiaoyu to the guest room to rest. She probably won’t wake up until tomorrow morning,” Su Lin suggested calmly.

Lin Xiaowan glanced doubtfully at Xia Shiyu, who had only drunk a bit of fruit wine mixed with juice. Was the aftereffect really that strong?

Without thinking too much, she and Su Lin helped Xia Shiyu to the guest room and settled her in.

After finally getting Xia Shiyu settled, Lin Xiaowan returned to the living room where Su Lin handed her a can of cola.

“Phew, Xiaoyu looks so thin, but she’s actually quite heavy.”

Su Lin laughed: “That’s because you’re not strong enough, you can’t blame Xiaoyu for being heavy.”

“This girl, getting drunk so early. We were even planning to go sing karaoke, and now that’s not happening.”

Su Lin glanced at the clock: “It’s already nine, too late for karaoke. It’ll be midnight by the time we’re done.”

“Yeah, well, you’re the birthday boy, so it’s your call,” Lin Xiaowan nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, Su Lin leaned closer to Lin Xiaowan: “Xiaowan, so you really mean I get to decide?”

“Uh...” Lin Xiaowan saw the flickering flame in Su Lin’s eyes: “Su... Su Lin...”

“What’s up, Xiaowan?”

“I... I... My parents aren’t home tonight.” As soon as she said it, Lin Xiaowan wished she could slap herself. She couldn’t believe she had said those words.

A smile crept onto Su Lin’s lips. Her words were indeed thought-provoking. He leaned in again, their faces so close that each could clearly see the other’s fair skin. “Xiaowan, then... would you like to stay over tonight?”

“I...”

“What’s wrong?”

Lin Xiaowan suddenly hugged Su Lin tightly, burying her head in his chest: “Let’s not talk anymore, please.”

Taken aback, Su Lin then scooped Lin Xiaowan up in a princess carry: “Okay, I won’t talk.”

“Where... where are we going?”

“Upstairs, to sleep!!!”

“...”
